Title: Lead-in wire contacting apparatus for machines for making electrical devices
IPC: H01J9/38
Filed: 1956-11-14
Abstract: 831,424. Turret machines. SYLVANIA ELECTRIC PRODUCTS Inc. Nov, 14. 1956. No. 34881/56. Class 39(2) A machine for making electrical devices, such as tubular discharge lamps, having a pair of spaced apart leading-in wires extending from one or both ends thereof is provided with an electric contactmaking device for feeding current through the leading-in wires to the filament or other electrode within the tube, the contact-making apparatus comprising a base of insulating material with three spaced contacts mounted thereon and connected to a 3-phase supply means being provided for holding the discharge tube or other device with its leading-in wires in engagement, with two of the said contacts. Fig. 1 shows one end of an electric discharge tube 22 provided with an unsealed exhaust tube 32 and a pair of leading-in wires 30 connected to a cathode 28, the tube being mounted coaxially with a burner plate 20 which is supported by a rod 24 arranged to be moved axially by a cam at the other end as the head carrying the tube is moved around in a fixed circular path. The burner plate 20 carries brackets 44 supporting a ring 42 of heat resistant electrically insulating material encompassing a set of three arcuate contacts 46, 48, 50, Fig 2., each connected to a terminal 52 with a lead 51 to a flexible contact finger 56 mounted on an insulator block 54. The contact fingers 56 each bear upon an arcuate commutator track during a 'part of the movement of their associated work holding head around a circular path on the machine. The three arcuate contacts 46, 48, 50 are connected through adjustable resistors 70, 72, 74, Fig. 3, respectively to the delta connected secondary windings 64, 66, 68 of a threephase transformer, the resistors being adjusted so that the voltages across each of them and their related secondary winding are substantially equal. In operation, as a lamp tube is carried around in the exhausting machine the burner plates 20 at the opposite ends of the tube are moved inwardly by cam action on the rods 24, and the exhaust tube 32 passes into the exhaust head mounted coaxially with it. In moving inwardly the ring 42 brings the inner faces of the contacts into engagement with the leading-in wires 30. The ends of the contacts 46, 48, 50 are disposed at an angle relative to a radial line of the ring 42 to prevent a leading-in wire 30 from passing between two contacts without contacting either. The contacts 46, 48, 50 may be made of shapes other than arcuate provided that they form a figure that is closed except for insulating gaps between them. Specification 805,896 is referred to.
